Geometric series, with zero as the first term? That is a new one.
first: 0,0,0,0,0,....
Second, 16, 40, 100, 250, ..
would the common ratio be 4
I am not sure how to compute
because first term 4 x 4 = 16
but 4x16 is not 40 it equals 64 which is not the second term is possible there is no common ratio
40/16=2.5

16*2.5=40

40*2.5=100

100*2.5=250

250*2.5=625

625*2.5=1562.5

1562.5*2.5=3906.25 etc
22.34
